    Please accept my sincere sympathy, too, @Sallent. Personally, I'm a "griever," and it's hard for me to let go. But one thing I've learned, death is like the Sun, and you don't want to stare at it too long. FWIW...

    So sorry. I just qualified for medicare but my dad is still alive (as is my mom), but I have not seen him for several years because we live on opposite sides of the ocean. I've thought about it, but trans-Atlantic travel is really not an option for either of us any more.

    So sorry for your loss. My own father died in June. He was 81, and the last few months saw a lot of time in hospitals, so it wasn't unexpected, but it was still terribly painful. My only advice: take the time to grieve and remember him, but don't forget the needs of those who are still living, and who still need you.

    The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith. -Billy Graham

    @Sallent it is obvious to me the legacy of your dad, Orlando, lives in you and you are the legacy of your father. My humble and sincere condolences in your loss.
